On January 18, 2022, a vehicle at the Tropicana Royale apartments in Las Vegas was found with a young man motionless in the trunk. The victim was identified as 26-year-old Tevin Alhashemi; he had suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at Sunrise Hospital.

Alhashemi’s killing was initially investigated separately from two later Tropicana Avenue shootings that targeted Paulo Viana on May 4, 2022, and Josue Nain-Chaparro-Montalvo on June 23, 2022. Detectives later connected the three cases through surveillance footage, clothing recovered at scenes, and forensic testing that tied a handgun to the other two killings. Investigators found Alhashemi and Alonzo AJ Brown were acquaintances and had an altercation before the January shooting; months after Brown’s June 27, 2022, arrest, detectives linked him to Alhashemi’s murder as well. Brown has denied involvement.

Does anyone have information about Alhashemi, his movements that night, or the altercation mentioned prior to the shooting?
